A limited-run authentic 1959 Les Paul reissue aged to perfection by the Murphy Lab experts.
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue from the acclaimed Murphy Lab authentically captures the look, feel and sound of a prized '50s Les Paul. Master aging luthier Tom Murphy developed proprietary methods to recreate every nuance of natural aging, evoking the rich patina of a vintage instrument. The Murphy Lab applied this expert aging to the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue's nitrocellulose lacquer finish, hardware and accessories for a completely convincing back-in-time experience.
Proprietary Murphy Lab Aging and Collectible Extras
Developed by the pioneering Tom Murphy, the exclusive Murphy Lab aging imparts the feel, look and tonal nuance of a vintage instrument. Every finish crack, hardware patina and lacquer check was meticulously applied by hand. Limited to only 50 units, these 1959 Reissue Les Pauls includes a leather-wrapped COA book and an insert noting the rarity of the limited run.
Custom Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard Provides Warm, Complex Tone
You'll love the smooth feel and complex voice of the Brazilian rosewood fingerboard on the 1959 Reissue. Denser and more responsive than other rosewoods, Brazilian rosewood accentuates each note with colorful overtones, articulated sustain and singing highs. Combined with the Custombucker zebra pickups, the Brazilian rosewood fingerboard helps emulate the highly coveted tone of late-'50s Les Pauls in all its glory.
Super Lightweight Mahogany Body Resonates Freely for Full-Bodied Tone
The Murphy Lab hand selected premium lightweight mahogany for the back of these 1959 Reissues. Weighing less enables the solid mahogany body to vibrate freely, unleashing full-bodied resonance with piano-like sustain. You'll feel the 1959 Reissue come alive in your hands as you dig into bends or let notes ring out.
Custom Zebra Humbuckers Recreate Authentic '59 Les Paul Sound
The Custombucker zebra humbuckers are crucial to recreating the legendary tone of late-'50s Les Paul Standards. Their Alnico 5 magnets and uneven zebra coils emulate the articulation and sweet singing treble of the original PAF humbuckers. From warm cleans to singing leads, the zebras handle any musical scenario with era-perfect tone.
With Vintage-Style Hardshell Case for Safe Transport
The Murphy Lab Limited Edition 1959 Les Paul Standard comes in an aged Lifton hardshell case. The aged pink lining and Gibson logo continue the back-in-time vibe.
